Good: A relatively large world.
Bad: A relatively boring world.
Not terrible, says the burning bush…

Trash Man’s got music, sound effects and even a purpose! Shocker! A game that you could say is actually complete and well-rounded. Unfortunately, it is a little slow paced.

I always enjoy a world to explore, even if there’s hardly anything in it. In fact, I popped open Mappy just to check out the world _sven created. I was even more excited to give my wrists a break when I found out I could a gamepad to play the game. Unfortunately, the controls of the gamepad aren’t as manageable as the keyboard controls. Still, it’s nice _sven put in this functionality on top of everything else.

There were a few things I didn’t figure out, like how to restore my health or how to not grab a bomb-infested item. Once I beat the high score and had a gander around the world, I pretty much put the game to rest. A few more sprinkles and this would have been a real treat, so it was slightly disappointing.

Overall: I semi-enjoyed my time playing this game and all the little details (including picking up bushes) makes this game overall pretty solid. I think it’s deserving of somewhere between 3 or 4, so I’ll be nice and make it a very low 4.
Artistical: The news isn’t very prominent in the game, but serves its purpose. Graphically, the game isn’t appalling. Once again, I’m thinking between 3 and 4 and I’ve already given out a 4 so…
Technical: No bugs (unless you could periodically getting stuck on things briefly a bug) and the smoke/fire effects are affective like an effect should affect. Can’t really argue with that, 4.
Genre: It’s all about picking up garbage. Honestly, I don’t have any reason to give less than a 5.

Scores: Overall 4 Artistical 3 Technical 4 Genre 5
